Good morning, everyone. Happy Valentine’s Day to all. Like many guys, I am annoyed by this “holiday,” and not just because I am known for spreading love EVERY DAY. This is one of those days where you just can’t say to a woman, "I didn’t do anything, but it’s the thought that counts.” Trust me, fellas: It doesn’t count for anything. This day has dual meaning for me, though: Today is my parents’ 55th wedding anniversary! Now if only that didn’t remind me how old I am---

Good morning, everyone. Congratulations to Harvey Munford and his son for winning the Grammy last night. I don’t know where he finds the time around his legislative duties. Personally, I thought Levon Helm should have won it posthumously, but that tribute was nice.
For those of you who have not renewed and upgraded (it’s the same price for both!), you missed my column Sunday on taxes and the Gang of 63, but more importantly, you missed a fascinating collection of opinions on how the debate...

After he settled with the city of Henderson for a paltry sum, indicating the government was eager to release him, attorney Christopher Stephens, through his lawyers, lambasted what they called the "pulp fiction" of a lawsuit.
